I heard the sweet sound of a bird
calling out from a high branch.
No answer,
he didn’t give up.
He showed no anger.
He listened . . .
he called again.
He sang.
He enjoyed his perch,
then called again
and waited some more.
He performed daily tasks while waiting.
The cycle repeated.
THEN,
the right time came
and he got the Word .. .
He sang with such joy!
Love is patient.
Love never fails!
Love is eternal.

The Way You Love Me
As I hold your hand
And we take our morning walk
My heart leaps within me.
My desire becomes less and less
Of what the future holds.
As long as you hold my hand
Tomorrow and other tomorrows
Matter not.
I am basking in today!
